As a student, the FlorenceForFun crew seemed like a super cool family of expats. Travelling with FlorenceForFun on weekends as well as hanging out with them at events during the week, were definitely the highlights of my study abroad experience. Every staff member brought their knowledge and experience to the team and together they worked like a well-oiled machine. After 3 months of studying, I knew I wanted to extend my stay and be apart of the FlorenceForFun crew!
